ACU is about action. We’re about listening to our partners and communities – and actively responding to their needs. Such collaborations strengthen us for the future.

Benefits of an ACU partnership

We’re committed to creating a positive impact in society. To make that happen, we partner with organisations that share our focus on the common good.

We help our partners solve challenges. We work with an organisation to strengthen its capabilities and those of its staff – allowing us to make a difference, together.

Benefits we offer prospective partners include:

  • synergies that result from bringing together knowledge and ideas
  • access to a network of thinkers and the ability to further your work through cross-, multi- and transdisciplinary collaborations
  • professional learning opportunities, tailored qualifications and executive education
  • industry-ready students for professional placements
  • the opportunity to be part of the ACU story. 

Collaborate with a university supporting teaching and learning excellence, pursuing knowledge and critical enquiry through research, and servicing the community.
